The Office of Undergraduate Education will review the request for exception and forward the information to the Office of the Registrar. Upon approval of an exception, the college dean or academic department, if designated, will enter the exception information into the student information system.
Exceptions will appear on the student's degree audit report. The dean of the college of the student's major may not, however, waive Senate Policies , , or , nor waive the minimum university baccalaureate requirement of credits. A student may not appeal and the Senate cannot accept petitions for exceptions to Policies and that prohibit graduation until all NG and DF grade designations are resolved and removed from the student's record. The General Education requirements for students who enrolled at Penn State prior to Summer can be found in the Archive.
Penn State wants students to use General Education to experiment and explore, to take academic risks, to discover things they did not know before, and to learn to do things they have not done before. To that end, the General Education program extends the concept of flexibility to all aspects of the degree program.
These requirements may be completed by designated courses that also complete other degree or General Education requirements. May include a First-Year Seminar; a student's campus of enrollment determines whether or not a First-Year Seminar is required. Students at the University Park campus are required to complete at least 1 credit of first-year seminar and meet any other first-year requirements specified by their home college.
Students at the Commonwealth campuses are required to complete the first-year experiences specified by their campus. Part-Semester Courses: Scheduling a part-semester course that begins after the start of the semester may allow a student to maintain full-time status. Individualized Experiences for Credit: A student may arrange an experience such as an independent study, internship, or research project.
No additional tuition is charged. When determining an overload, the Office of the University Registrar counts audit credits as part of a semester credit load. A student must earn at least a C grade in each course designated as a C-required course in their major.
Guidelines for Considering Course Substitution Requests The course to be substituted should be in the same area as the required course or in a closely related area.
Substitution of a course for a previously failed required course is seldom granted. Failure to schedule a required course is not sufficient reason for granting permission for a course substitution. Student Action When working on your academic plans, discuss the possibility of a substitution with an adviser.
Ideally, permission for a substitution should be obtained before you enroll in the course you wish to substitute. Schedule the course to be substituted. After scheduling it, obtain pertinent forms and directions in the appropriate college dean's office to request the substitution.
